Is Italy Safe to Live In? The Reality Behind the Headlines

Season 5 · Episode 97

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 • Duration 26:57

Is Italy becoming a more dangerous place to live, or are we becoming more frightened by what we see online?

Recent protests, dramatic social media videos and headlines ranking Florence among Italy’s highest-crime provinces have raised questions about safety. But what do the numbers actually tell us, and how different is everyday life from what we see on our screens?

In this episode of A New Life in Italy, host Samantha Wilson looks beyond the headlines to explore what safety really means when you're considering making Italy your home.

She shares her perspective from living in Florence, where recent demonstrations made international headlines while much of the city continued with its usual weekend routine. She also explores why people are protesting, the economic pressures facing younger Italians, and how social media algorithms can distort our perception of danger.

Italy isn't perfect, and understanding its challenges is part of making an informed decision about moving here. But a few dramatic headlines don't tell the whole story.

In this episode, we discuss:

Recent protests in Florence and other Italian cities
Why younger Italians are frustrated by wages, housing costs and limited opportunities
How social media algorithms influence our perception of crime and danger
What Italy’s latest crime statistics reveal, including Florence’s ranking
How serious violent crime rates compare across Italy, the US, Canada and the UK
What everyday safety and community can look like when living in Italy
How to evaluate a potential new home beyond the headlines

If you're planning a move to Italy, already living here, or simply trying to understand what’s happening, I hope this conversation gives you a little more perspective.
